Plasticine

Maksim and his friend Lyokha are growing up in the dark and chaotic world of urban Russia. They are plagued by squalor and brutality, and for Maksim the only escape is to lovingly model figurines out of plasticine.

Plasticine vividly depicts life in contemporary urban Russia. It won The Evening Standard's 'Most Promising Playwright' award for its writer, Vassily Sigarev, who has been hailed as the brightest of Russia's new wave of emerging playwrights.
